CfA Scientists Play Important Role in New NASA Mission

  • This artist's impression of SPHEREx shows the spacecraft as it will appear when in low-Earth orbit. During its 27-month nominal mission, SPHEREx will conduct four all-sky surveys to study the early history of the cosmos and search for interstellar molecules such as water and other compounds thought to be precursors of life as we know it. Credit: NASA/JPL
